Your movement screen is a clinical instrument

Before anything is loaded, movement is screened with the Functional Movement Screen (Gray Cook's 21-point, 7-pattern instrument, used across professional sport) — and corrective work, when your screen calls for it, follows the NASM corrective-exercise continuum. Joint hypermobility is checked with the Beighton score, the standardized 9-point clinical exam.

The fascial map comes from Anatomy Trains

The whole-body connective-tissue system your training moves through is mapped by Thomas Myers' Anatomy Trains — the myofascial meridian model — supported by the modern fascia research literature on how connective tissue adapts to load over months and years, not weeks.

Loading follows strength-science standards

Sets, reps, tempo, and rest follow the NSCA's Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning. You never test a one-rep max — your working loads are estimated from safe submaximal sets (the Epley and Brzycki methods) and adjusted week to week by how your sessions actually go.

Special situations follow clinical guidelines

Pregnancy and postpartum programming follows ACOG guidance — including its warning signs, printed in your program, and a hard rule that no program is written without your provider's clearance. Bone-density programming keys off your physician's DEXA scan. Programs for arthritis, older adults, and hypermobility each follow their condition's published clinical evidence — and every one of them defers to your doctor on anything medical.

Even the supplements are protocol, not preference

Recommendations like collagen with vitamin C before training come from the published research on timing and dose — always presented as advisory, always routed through your physician when medications are involved.
